Though firstborn, he was the youngest of three; he was eleven when his parents adopted his older brother and sister.Homeschooled, Spenser’s first classroom experience was at a summer driving school. At sixteen, he received his GED and immediately started attending the University of Hawaii Maui College. After receiving his Associate of Arts, he transferred to Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he completed his bachelor’s degree in English Writing with an Asian Studies Minor.After finishing college, Spenser taught English in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea. Spending a brief period back home, he then moved to Chicago, Illinois. Eventually, he moved back to the Island of Maui to focus on his writing.Along with novels, Spenser writes screenplays, blog articles, and the occasional poem. When not writing, he experiments with illustration; he created the map overlay for the cover of this book.Spenser keeps busy with a plethora of hobbies. In his group of friends, he is known as the “Filthy Casual,” never dedicating too much to one thing. While watching YouTube videos, he plays on his Nintendo Switch or PS4. His Netflix watchlist is a mix of cartoons, anime, sitcoms, and crime shows. The library lining his walls is a mix of thriller, fantasy, absurdism, manga, reference, and used-bookstore leftovers.Frequenting anime, comic book, and entertainment conventions, Spenser hopes to make a living in the same field and with the same passion as the featured creators.view less
